It's a clichéd topic, but I admire the director's ability to fool such two superstars - dustin hoffman and emma thompson.

I happened to read a collection of essays by the great master Kurt Vonnegut today, and there is an interesting article in it. It is to put good luck and bad luck and life in one coordinate, and then set this coordinate in many novels. I found that some novels are from good luck to bad luck to good luck, some from bad luck to good luck, some good luck has extremes, and some bad luck has extremes. Speaking of "Hamlet," he said "Shakespeare tells stories as badly as the Arapaho", "but there's a reason we have to classify Hamlet as a masterpiece, and that is that Shakespeare tells us the truth, that people are The ups and downs seldom tell us the truth. The truth is that we know so little about life that we really don’t know what is good luck and what is bad luck.”

I watched the film calmly, accompanied by Vonnegut that coordinate axis. kate walker said i am more comfortable for being disappointed. We don't know what is good luck and what is bad luck, and we don't know when good luck favors bad luck. What can we do? So it will be better to be comfortable for being disappointed. Yes, I am. But who actually is? I

don't know if Kurt has found the angel in heaven who is in charge of good luck and bad luck. I don't know if Kurt has asked the answer .

    Even if the script is mediocre, Hoffman is still so calm!
